"Halleljuah" (taken from the Bible, meaning 'praise God'), "Praise the Lord" and "Amen" are oft used expressions chanted during prayers and used to affirm or cheer on group led prayers or other inspirational group activities.
The praise "chant" consists of short expressions of praise repeated randomly (i.e. "Thank you, Jesus! Praise you, Lord! Thank you, Jesus! Hallelujah!") and is often combined with praising in tongues. Family members commonly begin and end their prayers with this chant, though they do not refer to this form of praise as such.
